The Consume skill kills one of your minions and applies a buff to the Reaper for a base duration of 6 seconds. The buff grants 40% increased damage, 20% increased attack speed, 20% increased movement speed and 10% increased character size.

The Reaper has muliple instances of the skill which its AI uses in different circumstances:

• The version it frequently uses because it's hurt has a 6-second cooldown.
• The version it infrequently uses because it just felt like it (and didn't already have the buff) has a 25 second cooldown.

EDIT: Consume also recoverys 50% of the Reaper's life.

No. Conversion does not apply to the damage roll of the hit, it is already applied to your min/max damage values.

If you look at your skill in game, you can see this on the popup. A skill with x-y base physical damage and 100% conversion of physical to fire will show that it's damage ranges are x-y fire damage. When you hit with that skill, it has a fire damage range and makes a roll between those values to determine the specific fire damage value of that hit. It does not have any min/max physical damage to roll, because those were converted away.

The damage when the duration expires occurs where you targeted the spell rather than around you.

does this mean that astral projector would work with the skill?

No.

Astral Projector will work with Voltaxic Burst, but that's entirely unrelated to anything in this thread, nothing I said here means that it will. Being a Nova Spell means that.

Conversion affects min/max damage. You can see this on the skill tooltips. You make the damage roll for each type when you hit, between those values.

They're beams from a projectile - just like Ball Lightning and Lightning Arrow, they're projectile damage.

Costs are paid, resources are spent. With EB skills can have a Mana Cost, and you can pay that cost by spending ES instead - this isn't spending mana (Kitava's Thirst), but is paying a mana cost (Nexus Gloves, although those aren't specific only to mana costs).

Becoming Immune to a debuff always removes that debuff. That has not changed.

Previously, the immunity lasted for the flask duration, which meant instant flasks, having no duration, did not actually make you immune. This is why the mod previously needed an explicit removal-on-use as well as immunity. The immunity now always has a duration, so having explicit removal in addition to immunity would be redundant.

Yes, Voltaxic Burst applies a buff.

EDIT: My information was out of date, sorry. This has actually changed since I last tested the skill in-game. This was determined not to be a buff due to not having any effect on the player.

Yes, Ward is a new type of Defence, alongside Armour, Evasion, and Energy Shield.

According to the order of receiving damage, and if I theorise correctly, Ward counts as a flat modifier to damage taken (5.1 in the sequence of receiving damage), and therefore comes after % reductions like Fortify and Armour's PDR.

To clarify, the livestream used imprecise language to get the general idea across without making it sound overcomplicated. Ward does not modify damage taken, it changes how/where you take damage (step 7 in your link). For examp...

I stand corrected.

also multiplies negative res (so it does, in fact not "increase" them, it just multiply them

This is untrue. It is an increase modifier, and is additive with any other "increased" or "reduced" modifiers applying to those resistances. Such modifiers are rare, but do exist.

This works exactly the same as any other "increased" modifier in the game. Increases mathmatically take a % of the value, and add that to the value. If the value is negative, this makes it more negative.

This is not preformed after "ele reduction", it is additive with any actual "reduced" modifiers to the resistance. People in this thread (and in general) are incorrectly using that term to refer to modifiers which subtract from resistance. In PoE, modifiers which add/subtract to the base value are always applied first, then all % increases and reductions to that value are summed and apply additively, (and each different "more" or "less" modifier applies s...

No, those are different modifiers.

Arc has a single modifier, the value of which varies based on how many times it has chaned. There are not multiple more modifiers on Arc.

Similarly, the player character has a single modifier giving 4% more damage per frenzy charge - this can be seen in the character panel.

That's technically true in a certain sense but also meaningless. The difference between "more" and "less" is meaninless with only one modifier, because the only difference is in how they stack with other modifiers to the same value.

A passive with 10% increased melee damage behaves exactly like a "more" modifier if you have no other increases to damage, because there's nothing for it to be additive with. The distinction only makes sense in terms of discussing multiple modifiers.

The evil eye on curse effect medium makes enemies cursed by you take 5% more damage. This is a "more damage" multi.

Just pointing this out since some may not know. "More" multipliers of the same type are additive with each other. Meaning if you have, let's say, 4 Evil Eye cluster jewels, then you'll get (1+5%+5%+5%+5%)-1 = 20% more DPS, not (1+5%)(1+5%)(1+5%)*(1+5%)-1 = 21.5% more DPS.

This is not true. "more" and "less" modifiers always stack multiplicatively with each other. However, the Evil Eye notable has an increased damage taken modifier, not more damage taken. It is thus additive with all other increased/reduced modifiers to damage taken.

"Unaffected by" means a debuff can be applied to you, but it won'd do anything. This means you can benefit from any "while bleeding" modifiers, without the bleeding actually causing you to take physical damage.

Corrupted Blood is not Bleeding. Being protected from Bleeding will not affect Corrupted Blood in any way.
